Chapter 68 Is it so easy to enter the city?

In the inn, in addition to detaining exiles, there were also business travelers who came to stay overnight.

Shen Ru came and went freely. The next morning, when she walked around the inn, she was surprised. When will the inn be able to accommodate business travelers?
"With the salary from the imperial court, the post station can't survive at all!"

After Yi Cheng drank some wine, Shen Ru chased him and stuffed him with some broken silver and started chatting.

"In our northwest region, the imperial court doesn't care about anything. As long as we don't miss urgent border customs matters, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye."

Shen Ru was quite surprised. If the management was so lax, there would be chaos!

"I heard that there was trouble in Baishui City. Did Mr. Yi Cheng hear anything about it?"

"Haha, it's expected, it's expected!"

Yi Cheng whispered, "Young lady must be a queen of a famous family. These days, even a famous family like yours can't survive here, let alone some farmers who have been farming for generations!"

"They are so poor. The government officials are poor, the farmers are poor, and they don't know where all the money has gone!"

"But the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes only increase every year. How long have you been on the road of exile? The taxes in the northwest have been increased three times in the past year!"

"What about Liangzhou?"

Shen Ru asked tentatively.

"That place in Liangzhou, ha, when you come to the border area, you will often be harassed by foreign countries. Although there are guards stationed there, the general soldiers and the governor are not in harmony."

"Secondly, the land is barren and unsuitable for cultivation. A hundred years ago, there was trade with other countries in the Western Region, but this country has been closed for 300 years!"

Shen Ru thought about it after listening to it. After the founding of Daduan, trade in the Western Regions was cut off. He didn't know what the reason was.

"How come I heard that water and grass were plentiful in the past?"

Shen Ru couldn't help but ask.

"That happened a long, long time ago. I don't know when it started. There was less rain, and there were more livestock and less farmland in Liangzhou!"

Shen Ruyi Cheng kept talking. Chen Qing was busy running around, wanting to know when the city gate would open. All the escort officials were on strike. How could he escort the remaining prisoners to Liangzhou?

Finally, Chen Qing decided on Shen Ru.

"Shen Ru, can you make this trip?"

Shen Ru was startled, pointed at himself, and said with some disbelief:

"Master Chen, why do you think the same as Cui Ti? What virtue and ability do I have to enter the gated Baishui City?"

"First of all, you have high kung fu, and secondly, you have a close relationship with the governor of Liangzhou. I think you should have a way to get in and protect yourself."

Chen Qing looked at Shen Ru and said confidently, "Also, as for whether you have other forces behind you, Shen Ru, I won't tell you, but in order to get to Liangzhou as soon as possible, you must be able to do it!"

Shen Ru didn't know why Chen Qing was so determined. It wasn't impossible to enter the city.

"Master Chen, what should I...bring into the city?"

When Chen Qing saw Shen Ru's expression, he knew that Shen Ruyi was moved.

"I can give you all my identity documents."

Shen Ru raised his eyebrows and said jokingly:
"Master Chen is so serious, I feel a little embarrassed!"

"Your parents, siblings are all here, what should I worry about?"

The threatening intent in Chen Qing's words was also obvious.

"Okay, I'll go for you!"

Shen Ru said, "Let me talk to my parents first."

"The sooner the better."

Shen Ru agreed and went to talk to his parents about it.

"Aru, can't you just go? It's so dangerous inside. You have a daughter..." Mother Shen said first, with a look of concern on her face.

"Mom, it's okay. I'm not happy to find someone for Cui Ti, but Chen Qing takes good care of us, so I'm still willing to take a trip."

Shen Ru comforted her parents that she was not here to ask, but to inform. After a while, she said goodbye to her family, picked up her things and set off.

Cui Ti happened to see Shen Ru riding away, and she was full of doubts.

"Master Chen, where is Shen Ru going?"

"Go to Baishui City for business."

Chen Qing dropped the sentence and walked away.

Cui Ti couldn't help but look sad. She kindly offered money to ask Shen Ru to do something and she refused, but now she went to the city. Shen Ru was going too far!
Shen Ru galloped on his horse, and when he arrived not far from Baishui City, he changed his clothes and looked like a handsome young man.

The city gate was not closed, but the soldiers were guarding it and no one was allowed to enter or leave. They said there were rebels in the city and they would not be allowed to pass until they were cleared.

The city wall is more than ten meters high. If she borrows strength, she can go up. But there are soldiers guarding it. If she bumps into it, she will immediately become a rebel!

Shen Ru decided to try his luck first.

"Stop, no one is allowed to enter the city!"

Shen Ru was stopped and faced with the soldiers who were looking at him eagerly. Shen Ru looked anxious and cupped his fists and said:
"My lords, the situation is urgent. I am holding the token of escorting the exiled prisoners, Mr. Chen, and want to see Mr. Chen. Currently, nearly [-] exiles are detained in the inn, waiting for their replacement. If I are not allowed to enter the city, With so many people outside the city, something big will happen.”

Shen Ru looked anxious, but her words did not move the guarding soldiers, and they still looked like they could not drink water.

"No one is allowed in the city!"

It's... so irritating!

Shen Ru was speechless when he saw this, why don't these people know how to adapt?

It was the last resort to force it, so Shen Ru simply stared at a place not far away to see if there was any opportunity he could take advantage of.

Some people were stopped when they went to the city to seek medical treatment, and some were stopped when bringing things to the merchants in the city. There were all kinds of things, but they didn't go in anyway.

Suddenly, Shen Ru saw a group of men wearing the same official uniforms as the guards, and they began to patrol separately, which made her eyes light up.

She immediately followed the two people on the side.

"I have to patrol the surroundings every day. It's very annoying. If you ask me, there is no need to seal the city. The rebels can just leave. Just don't harm our Baishui City."

"My old mother in the country hasn't seen me for many days, and I'm upset. If I had known this, I would have taken her to live in the city!"

Shen Ru's body was light and he was hiding in the tree, but he could hear the conversation between the two people clearly.

Neither of them seem to agree with the lockdown, why don't we talk about it?
With a thought in his mind, Shen Ru jumped from the tree in front of the two of them, which frightened them so much that they immediately took out their knives.

"You two officers, don't be nervous, I am..."

Shen Ru told what happened at the city gate again.

"Now that the prisoners are all detained in the inn, we have to let go. If all the prisoners escape and flood into Baishui City, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"I would also like to ask the two officials to give me some advice if I get lost."

Shen Ru thought that if he couldn't do it openly, he would do it secretly.

"Okay, let's change our clothes, you go in for me, and I'll go see my old mother!"

Unexpectedly, one of them said immediately when he heard it.

Shen Ru was stunned, so smooth?
"Qianxing is right. His old mother doesn't know what's going on alone in the countryside. How about I cover for you and you go in for him."

Shen Ru blinked and immediately responded: "The two officials are really straightforward, so let's do it!"

She must be the Emperor of Europe, is she so lucky?
